Comments
DjPm-80: This is a small bison jump at the base of a high (35+ m) bedrock terrace. Excavation of an area of 59 sq m recovered about 80-90% of the bone bed. Three small pieces of lead foil and a tentatively identified horse bone were found in the bone bed and are consistent with the age given by AECV-694C. Two late side-notched points were recovered from a small hearth directly beneath the bone bed.
